The benefits of following a healthy balanced vegetarian or vegan diet are
endless.

Healthy Bowels :

Vegetarian and vegan diet are generally much higher in both soluble and
insoluble fibre, which are fundamentally important for a healthy digestive
tract. Trillions of friendly grow in a high-fibre diet and produce the
nourishment for the cells of the intestinal lining. They also aid the
detoxification of hormones, toxins and cholesterol and most importantly of
all they help to protect the bowel lining from bowel cancer.

Happy
Hearts :

There is no doubt that vegetarian and vegan diets contain less saturated
fat and cholesterol than a diet that includes meat. As vegetarian and
vegan diets are also high in fibre, high in antioxidants, and high in
vitamin E they generally provide increased protection against
cardiovascular disease.

Acid-Alkaline
Balance :

Some opportunistic diseases can start to take root when the body becomes
too acidic for extended periods. Vegetarians and in particular vegans, are
more likely to have a better acid-alkaline balance and increased
protection against degenerative diseases than meat-eaters. It is possible
to supplement the diet with nutrients to help establish a more alkaline
environment, but as always, it's best to do so under the supervision of a
nutrition consultant.

Strong
Immunity :

The increased level of fresh fruit and vegetables in vegetarian and vegan
diets bring in a rich supply of antioxidants and phytonutrients, and these
plant chemicals have a good reputation for boosting body immunity.

Enzymes That Spring Clean :

Both a vegetarian and vegan diet naturally involve eating high levels of
fresh fruit and vegetables, which are themselves packed full of natural
enzymes. These enzymes have two major health benefits - firstly, they have
a direct effect in your digestion by enhancing the breakdown of foods;
secondly, they are capable of being absorbed into the body where they
effectively encourage the excretion of dead cells and debris from the
blood and the lymph,giving your body a spring clean.
